Statement of Need: The morbidity and mortality of cancer is still a public health crisis. Pancreatic cancer, in particular, has one of the worst survival rates. Increased knowledge of new treatment methodologies, new research being done in the disease and how to best care for the patient with Pancreas cancer are vitally important to improving the survival rate of patients with pancreatic cancer. Each year more and more research is being done in pancreatic cancer requiring physicians and advanced clinical providers to have knowledge of new medications used to treat the disease. New to cancer diagnosis and treatment is the use of molecular biology and genetic testing. It has been found that different molecular abnormalities of pancreatic cancer react differently to different medications to treat pancreatic cancer. Providing our learners with the extensive knowledge of molecular and genetic testing in correlation to the appropriate therapy to treat a pancreatic patient is of utmost importance. This conference will provide the opportunity for participants to increase their knowledge and competencies in the care and management of pancreatic cancer
